This item's description and photos are deceiving. There are two different photos of the same item. One is correct. The one with brackets on the ends is not the item your buying. It does have a nice finish and is light weight. It's not heavy gauge steel. It has a hole in each end for mounting. I used this one something other than a jeep. I had to drill mounting holes in my winch tray. I drilled a hole for the wiring and ran the wire inside the bull bar and then up thru the bumper.
